Chapter 70: Casual

"Just don't discount all possibilities with excuses like those." June heard him say and sighed. "Just say you don't like me, which I would understand."

"It's not excuses," she replied. 

"So you do like me?" Warden grinned at her and all the seriousness was gone.

"Do you recognize how insufferable you can be at times?" she said, shaking her head.

"I take it as my charm," he said, still grinning. "Don't worry, it'll rub off on you."

June snorted. "I'm not someone who's looking for a casual relationship."

"What a surprise, that's exactly my mindset," Warden said. "I don't do flimsy casual relationships either. I'm in for the full emotions-imbued, responsibility-induced relationship."

June spared him a look.

"What, you don't believe me?" he looked flabbergasted at that notion. 

"I can't tell when you're serious and when you're not," June said, focusing on her food.
